Hi Matthias,

I have added your feedback into bugzilla.

After I read your input and looked at my changes I had one of those
"Duh, that's so obvious, why on earth did I do that"
moments. I know the error I made and I have a reasonable idea of how I can fix it.

Will send out a diff once I have made and tested the changes.
Thanks very much for the help, much appreciated.

Regards,
Adolf.
